7. Continue the pipe from the drain assembly
to a floor drain or condensate pump.
When selecting and installing a conden-
sate pump, ensure the pump is approved
for use with condensing boilers and fur-
naces. The pump should be equipped
with an overflow switch to prevent prop-
erty damage from potential condensate
spillage.
8. The PRESTIGE Excellence will typically
produce a condensate that is considered
slightly acidic with a pH content below 3.0.
Install a neutralizing filter if required by
authority having jurisdiction.
The condensate drain must remain filled
and unobstructed and allow unrestricted
flow of condensate. The condensate
should not be subject to conditions
where freezing could occur. If the con-
densate is subjected to freezing or
becomes obstructed , it can exit from the
heat exchanger, resulting in potential
water damage to the boiler and sur-
rounding area.
